Journal Writing

---- Song Jiayin, from Da Lian

　　What a wonderful and productive day we had at the English camp!

　　In the morning, professor Jia Lin gave us a provoking speech on English Writing. Her speech enlighten me a lot on English essay writing. For example, brainstorming before write an outline. Personally, I think this strategy can be applied to other skills of training, like making a speech in public, you have to do brainstorming in order to generate an outline of your speech.

　　Besides this strategy, I do have one question left for my group: It is said that a good English writer doesn’t mean a good English speaker. However, in my writing I’ve found it hard to make my sentence pattern verified as well as the vocabulary. My coach helped out by telling me that I could do some reciting practice. I am grateful for that and I am going to try it out after this summer camp.

　　All I wish now is that I should have come to this summer camp earlier. For this is my first time here and gonna be the last time. What a pity!
